Repairer of Broken Walls,

Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

Isaiah 58:12

WHO I AM

I am a woman who has done a little bit of a lot of things, all with the goal of loving God and loving people. Throughout my many roles in life God has continued to mold and teach me. I am definitely still a work in progress, but one that God has called to share from experience and education to bring awareness and a different way of engaging the potential of His Kingdom to individuals, churches and ministries.

Experience:

  • Missions and Outreach Director
  • Founder/President of a nonprofit organization serving the materially poor and marginalized in Guatemala
  • Preschool Ministry Director
  • MOPS Coordinator
  • Youth Ministry and Missions Committee Volunteer
  • Economic Crisis Case Manager
  • High School Teacher
  • Wife and Mother of 3 (including the ongoing journey of international adoption and autism spectrum disorder)

Education and Training:

  • Master’s Degree in Social and Civic Entrepreneurship
  • Pursuing Ph.D. in Innovative Urban Leadership
  • Certified Coach

Through it all, God has transformed (and continues to refine) my understanding of the best practices of missions, outreach and community engagement, both on a local and global level. I believe He is calling me to help individuals, churches and Christian organizations to look at their efforts with new lenses. In my current role as Director of Missions and Outreach at my home church, I lead the ministry with three goals:

  • An activated and equipped church body, living in true connection and relationship with Jesus in their neighborhoods, workplaces, schools.
  • A church that appropriately engages the community, drawing the lost, hurt and broken to Jesus.
  • A church that empowers missionaries locally and internationally in a true humility-based partnership as they draw people to Jesus.

WHAT I DO

Coach individuals and groups to gain clarity and momentum to move forward.

Consult and educate in current best practices of missions and outreach for churches and para-church organizations.

Lead workshops and discussions on current trends in missions and outreach (see the Workshops tab for more info).

Provide support and encouragement in your life’s journey or adjustment of current ministry practices.

Do you feel stuck? Are you or your ministry ready to take the next steps? I’d love to talk about it with you.
